Moringa School chief executive Snehar Shah and former Education CAS Sara Ruto have been named among the top ten finalists for the Africa Education Medal 2023 for their role in education.
Founded last year by T4 Education and HP in collaboration with Microsoft, the Africa Education Medal is one of the most prestigious education awards on the continent.
Mr Shah has been instrumental in bridging the skills gap in Africa’s digital job markets, with training in areas including Software Engineering, Data Science, Cybersecurity, and Product Design for jobseekers.
Ms Ruto has been feted for her significant work in education reforms where she led in the successful implementation of the competency-based curriculum.
She is also the former CEO of PAL Network – a network of organisations in Africa, South Asia and Central America that run citizen-led assessments and actions to improve foundational literacy and numeracy.
